JR Motorsports driver Justin Allgaier has reacted to his wreck with Kris Wright during the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.
Allgaier had led 99 laps of the race today and won stage 1. However, while attempting to lap Wright in his efforts to challenge Kyle Larson for the win, the pair collided. Wright moved up slightly, leading to Allgaier clipping his rear, sending them into a spin.
The JR Motorsports driver, who currently leads the Xfinity Series standings, was cleared by the medical team following the race. While speaking to the media, he admitted that it was his fault.
"The hard part is, ultimately it falls on my shoulders," Allgaier said.

Justin Allgaier, driver of the #7 Jarrett Logistics Chevrolet, looks on during qualifying for the NASCAR Xfinity Series Andy's Frozen Custard 300 at Texas Motor Speedway on May 02, 2025 in Fort Worth, Texas."We'd about gotten crashed a couple laps before the green-flag stop there, and I think they had some damage and he (Wright) was having a bit of a tough time with his race car, and I'm trying to catch back to the 88 and trying to push and ultimately put myself in a bad position...
"Kyle and I had a great battle, and I was having a lot of fun with it. Obviously, the guy's ultra-fast in anything that he drives. ... I think probably the most disappointing part about today is that it's my mom's birthday. I would love to get a trophy and celebrate her birthday with that, but instead I'm standing here talking to you guys."
Larson, who had stepped in last minute for Connor Zilisch, secured the victory. Reflecting on the race, Larson explained:
"It was a lot of survival, I felt like in that race. I got in some wrecks, the balance we had to work on quite a bit. So, it was fun. I felt like if I could ever get the lead, I could stretch it out, but I couldn't get by Justin [Allgaier]. He was running where I needed to be.
"Thanks to JRM for letting me come run this thing here today. Obviously, I wish Connor was in the car, but it means a lot that they thought of me to call up to run this thing."

Tiger Woods' Son, Charlie, Shows Up Dad; Posts Another Strong Finish
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The 2025 season continues to go from strength to strength for Charlie Woods, who just completed another strong performance in the junior division. It's also excellent news that his legendary father, Tiger Woods, was following him throughout the event. Woods competed between June 30 and July 2 in the Junior North & South Amateur. This is the 47th edition of the prestigious tournament hosted by Pinehurst Resort & Country Club, competing both boys and girls. Charlie finished with a 54-hole score of 1-over that earned him a tie for 12th in a field that began with 94 players. Charlie Woods of the United States plays a shot on the ninth hole during the second round of the PNC Championship at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club on December 22, 2024 in Orlando, Florida.

DeFelice/Getty Images The younger Woods improved throughout the tournament, starting with a 2-over 72 opening round on Pinehurst No. 2. Charlie carded four birdies and six bogeys on this day. A day later, it was time to play Pinehurst No. 8, and Charlie fared much better, with his only major complication being a double bogey on the 10th hole. He added three birdies and a bogey to his card for an even-par 72 for the round. The final round was also played on Pinehurst No. 8. Charlie started poorly, bogeying his first three holes and adding another bogey on the 8th and a birdie on the 6th to make the turn at 3-over for the day and five over for the week. However, he managed to find his best golf of the tournament on the back nine, where he carded five birdies and a bogey, finishing the round at 1-under and bringing his tournament score to 1-over. Tiger Woods Seen Following Charlie A video circulating on social media shows Charlie exchanging words with Tiger Woods after making one of his back nine birdies. Tiger can be seen riding in a golf cart, with no details of his current health being revealed. 🚨⛳️🐯 #NEW: Charlie Woods finished T12 (+1) at the 47th Junior North & South Amateur at Pinehurst CC.

(Via: @sscottpga) — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) July 3, 2025 However, the mere fact that the 15-time major champion is following his son around a golf tournament can undoubtedly be interpreted as a good sign. As you may recall, Tiger also followed Charlie around during the Florida Amateur Championship just a few weeks ago. These have been the clearest signs of Tiger Woods' recovery since injuring his Achilles tendon last March. The Junior North & South Amateur is not sanctioned by the American Junior Golf Association, so Charlie won't be able to improve his current ranking (14th). However, the result at Pinehurst definitely continues his streak of strong results, led by his victory at the TaylorMade Junior Invitational last May.

Mercedes Posts Emotional Lewis Hamilton Throwback as Fans Shed Tears
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Mercedes has shared an emotional throwback to the 2024 British Grand Prix, where seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton secured his first victory since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. The race win marked an emotional moment for the Briton as he broke a two-year drought to regain his winning form, a journey that was emotionally and physically challenging. Hamilton's winning spree ended after he lost his potential eighth world title to Max Verstappen in the 2021 season finale under controversial circumstances. The historic win at Silverstone was the perfect scenario Hamilton could have asked for, since it was his last home race with Mercedes, a team with which he celebrated huge success, securing six drivers' titles and contributing to the outfit's eight constructors' championships starting in 2014. Race winner Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Mercedes celebrates on the podium during the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit on July 07, 2024 in Northampton, England. Race winner Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Mercedes celebrates on the podium during the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit on July 07, 2024 in Northampton, the return of the British GP this weekend, Mercedes uploaded photos of the iconic race weekend from last year and the celebrations that followed. The post read: "The #BritishGP 2024? Nothing short of memories that last a lifetime. See you again this weekend, Silverstone." The 2025 British GP marks Mercedes' first race without Hamilton, while the 40-year-old driver steps into Silverstone for the first time in red racing overalls. Mercedes is celebrating the launch of the AMG GT XX concept car this weekend, and as a result, it has unveiled new racing overalls for George Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli. The design remains unchanged, except for Mercedes-AMG's logo, which appears in "sunset beam orange." Additionally, the W16 F1 car will also sport an orange Mercedes logo. Addressing the updated livery for this weekend, Mercedes said in a statement: "It's all to do with our celebration of the three-pointed star's past, present, and future, as F1 gets set to celebrate its 75th anniversary, at the home of the very first F1 World Championship race in 1950. "The future will be seen with the CONCEPT AMG GT XX, Mercedes-AMG's pioneering technology programme, that recently launched at Mercedes-AMG's Affalterbach headquarters with George, Kimi and Valtteri. "A concept car that offers insight into the first series-production model based on high performance will be on display at Silverstone. The concept car's eye-catching sunset beam orange livery is inspired by the revolutionary Mercedes C111 vehicles of the 1960s and 1970s. "The sunset beam orange accents will feature on the W16 including the famous three-pointed stars on its nose and engine cover, driver overalls, and both George and Kimi will run special helmets incorporating the colour in celebration of the CONCEPT AMG GT XX launch. "The high-voltage battery in the CONCEPT AMG GT XX is a completely new development. It benefits from all the experience from the AMG ONE and Formula 1 as well as the knowledge of the best engineers from Mercedes-AMG in Affalterbach and Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains (HPP) in Brixworth."
